Take a seat in your kayak, we'll take you! With the strength of your arms, play your paddles and admire the horizon. Challengers refrain, today we take advantage of the landscape! The most seasoned can rent a kayak (single or two-seater) in Carry-le-Rouet and set off on an adventure in complete autonomy. Creeks, wild beaches, towering cliffs and hidden caves... These landscapes will motivate you to slide on the water to discover all its secrets.
Tips not to be missed: Head to the protected marine area at Cap Rousset beach in Carry-le-Rouet. You can observe protected species and a rare posidonia.

Continue your walk towards the Etang de Berre (the second largest saltwater pond in Europe) to walk along its lagoons and its shell beaches. Renowned for being home to exceptional flora and fauna, you may well meet an unexpected person!

What would Martigues be without its canals? Its colorful facades? Its reflections in the water? Discover the city from a new perspective! Sit down next to us and let the captain's voice guide you. He will comment on the history of Martigues. Beyond approaching the emblematic sites of the destination, you will travel to the heart of a fishing town. You will come across boats returning to port, sailors ready on the deck of their boat, sailors busy untangling their nets. The sea air will tickle your nostrils, the light breeze will caress your face, the softness of the sun will tease your skin for a southern experience.

A break of sweetness at the end of the day that will make your stay even better. Your return will be at night, which will allow you to discover Martigues illuminated. What surprises!
